Tourism slowly returns to the Cayes; new government COVID-19 legislation affects island businesses
The primary fuel for the economy in San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye, and Caye Caulker is tourism, which had been absent for months after the COVID-19 pandemic arrived in March 2020. The fragile industry was rebooted in October 2020 with the re-opening of the Philip Goldson International Airport. Still, it was not until late December that encouraging movement was observed on the Cayes. Tourism stakeholders were busy with international visitors during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, despite the newly introduced COVID-19 regulations passed by the government.
